THE SIZE

I have been thinking long now about how big my Prints should be.
How much does size concern with the motif? Is the size already included clearly in the motif itself? Does size give the picture more strength? If any kind of size works, then should it be as big as possible? It's making me confusing.

It's been always difficult, since it matters on where/what to intensify. Also, I'm thinking about how much of the white frames around the picture should be remained.
Recently though, I have fixed every picture with 32cm in Height and no white frames, so that while showing every picture, they would have the same volume of intensity, in which the viewers (should) depict from my work. The size is also comfortable for me to work and handle with.
But I'm still not 100% sure if that's the right size, since it might get boring while looking at ca. 15 same-sized pictures with similar effects. And furthermore, some pictures could be blown up and some could stay small.

The size of a picture could be controlled through its visual strength (I could notify that as the intensity of the picture). How much things could be talked within the picture.
But before caring much about these strength, I have this desire to blow them all up to about 110cm in Height. So, I try. But, of course, there will always be a Hesitation (I have trouble handling with desires).
Reasons. First of all, I think I lack in making those decisions which have to do with spending big money on Prints, in which I'm not really sure if the size matches with the motif. Secondly, I am starting to think that my pictures could be printed in any size, since people would just have to notice what I wanted to do in the picture (looking back, maybe that's also why I have recently fixed all my pictures to 32cm in Height). But maybe, these effects would be different if the sizes were different...

So then the size could also be depended on what I want to indicate from my works (which could be the visual strength, so it could be notified as one of the intensity in the picture): the intermingle of awkwardness and the beauty in the picture. The question of where is Photography and where is Painting. How the white functions in/on my Photography (but hey, Wataru, is that enough for a work of art? Is that so superb??).

I have to think more about how much details I should include in the picture and should show, in which will then leads to how big the prints should be. Maybe, I should just take and use the pictures which has almost the same amount of intensity (but mostly I don't really know it until I develop the film and see the contact-prints).
Also, the motifs of my Pictures should also be cared and thought about, in which I think I should be primarily doing now. What pictures I will take, and how does it interrelate with the method of how I work with painting. What will it then tell that to people.


Well then, I guess I have to try everything out. However, that's making me really nervous, in which will brings up another story of stress: use of time, energy, and money. Honestly, it makes me worry, how much of those things I could use to make what I want.　How much is actually allowed (maybe no one stops me). How much new works could I produce within this period of trying out. Then, gradually starts to lose what was really important in doing this work.
If I find these things stressful, then maybe I'm not so talented and I won't be able to become the Avant-Garde or an excellent artist. People say I don't have to be the best. 「だがやるからには１位を目指すんだ。」 okay, Boss.

Anyways, I need to find out all by myself. It's all about how much I could notice and see.
